Really, we only want to live our lives the way we wish. Instead, genetically altered humans called the FRE (Fanatic Rule Enforcers) harass us.

We sneak into the underground belly of New York City, ten stories below the earth, the only place where we can be ourselves.

It is 2073 and Planet Earth is clean, wars nonexistent, and the world under one government, the Commonwealth. Everyone over 21 obeys the stringent rules. They are called Perfections and think alike, dress similar, and act emotionless.

Those under 21 who are not "perfect" the government labels Outcasts. They must wear the Defective No symbol on their nonconformist clothing.

When Dante's girlfriend vanishes, he enlists the aid of friends to find her. They discover the shocking secret of what extreme the Commonwealth of Earth will go to ensure that Outcasts reform and obey the rules!
